during the country’s review under the Universal Periodic Review, the country’s delegation strongly affirmed that, “despite concerns regarding the Act, Liberia remained committed to honouring its regional and international human rights obligations.” The delegation accepted to examine and provide a response at the March 2011 session of the Human Rights Council on recommendations to repeal the July 2008 law that allows the death penalty, in line with Liberia's obligations under the Second Optional Protocol to the ICCPR.
